Absolutely Unbelievable!

Why am I ever surprised at the lunacy of some people? I would think that at a certain point I would be so accustomed to the insanity of thought which is prevalent in some circles that nothing could astonish me anymore. However, that is not the case. The absurdity of this report has left me shaking my head.

In response to President Bush's announcement that 6,000 National Guard troops would be deployed to help secure the U.S. – Mexican boarder, the Mexican government has threatened to file lawsuits in U.S. courts.

According to Mexican Foreign Secretary Luis Ernesto Derbez,

If there is a real wave of rights abuses, if we see the National Guard starting to directly participate in detaining people ... we would immediately start filing lawsuits through our consulates.

My reaction to a threat like that is that, instead of sending 6,000 troops to the boarder, we should sent 12,000, and we should arrest every last one of these people who think they somehow have a right to violate the sovereignty of the United States. The only problem is that they would start filing their lawsuits, and if they get one of our country's liberal judges, they'll probably win their case.
